Hello, does anyone know if 05 mustang roush wheels will fit on a 95 mark VIII?

Thanks, Rich.

I think they have a different bolt pattern. Not 100% but I think this was asked before.

Dunno on the '05, I do know the 2004 doesnt fit. I cant see Ford changing the Mustang bolt pattern. Stranger things have happened!

If they have 5x108 mm lug pattern they will fit. Dunno what the offset should be though.

No, They will not fit, Ford has NOT changed the bolt pattern since 94.

correct. the 05's are still 5 on 4.5"

well that sucks cause i found a guy who has a brand new set of four 17" 05 roush wheels with pzero nero 235 55 17's all for 225 bucks. oh well that how it goes.

There have been members who have changed their bolt pattern to fit the Mustang Rims. Hell at that price I'd pick them up and sell them.

Buy them! You could easily turn around and sell them for twice that price. I bought 4 00' cobra wheels for 100 and 4 kuhmo ecstas for 100, I turned around and sold them for 450.

Well I bought the wheels/tires. Now I just need to sell em. I even tried to put them on the mark, no luck though. They even came in boxes. good 4 shipping. anyone know how much the perelli pzero nero's go for? zr235/55/17.

Posted by: rmac694203

at tirerack.com they don't have that exact size but it seems to be 120-150 each.

Posted by: turborich

ok thanks, i found em at discount tire, $162 a peice. anyone need sum of these rims/tires? i will trade for sumthing that will fit my mark 8.

You could wheel adapter them on, I'm not a big fan of that, but the new Mustang offset is way in, so you should be able to do it and sit nice.

Do you know of any online source that shows a car with these wheel adapters? I want to put my brothers 20"s on my car.

I heard using wheel adapters like that can lead to vibration, and ruining parts of the suspension.

Possibility of vibration is common even with with a wheel swap. Probably depends on the quality of the manufacturer so the same probably applies to the spacers. I have 97GT 17" wheels that I used to run on my 91SE, I'm not drivin it anymore so its sitting on the stockers, I considered putting them on my 84TC but they sit way under the car so I did some searches on spacers and there's alot of them available. I have a set of 18" lightning wheels I think might look good on it also, that spacer was available too. My wife drives my truck now and she likes the way the stockers ride better.

Most of them don't show the cars. If the wheel can afford to be moved out 1 1/2" and not cause a well rubbing issue, you probably could get one.
